Pause for Prayer: MONDAY 8/7

Good morning, good God!

Today, Lord, I offer you:

   the hurt in my heart 
     in need of your healing…

   the confusion in my mind
      in need of your counsel…

   the thoughts in my imagination
      in need of your cleansing 

   the sin in my soul
       in need of your mercy…

   the duplicity in my dealings
      in need of your justice… 

   the stubbornness in my will 
      in need of a docile spirit…

   the foolishness in my words and deeds
      in need of your wisdom…

   the lies in my speech
      in need of your truth…

   the selfishness in my greed
      in need of letting go…

   the pride in my bravado
      in need of your humility…  

   the anger I hold on to
       in need of your pardon...
  
   the emptiness within me 
      in need of your presence…

   the sorrow in my sadness
      in need of your consolation…

   the gaps in my hope
      in need of deeper trust…

I offer the parts of my life, Lord
    where I’m most in need of your grace

to heal and forgive my brokenness
     and  make me whole once again…
    

Accept my simple offering, Lord,
   this morning, all day long
      and through the week ahead..
    

Amen.
